Shadow and Light: Read, Dewey, Plato, and Aesthetic Education.

Swanger, David

Journal of Education, v164 n3 p256-70 Sum 1982

Aesthetics education should be based on Plato's aesthetics, which recognizes the power of art to revolutionize world awareness, rather than on the aesthetics of Herbert Read and John Dewey. Art educators must reconcile the subversive nature of art and the conservative aims of education. (Author/MJL)
